Premier League Doping Scandal

Massive anti-climax.

Although I doubt the Sunday Times being a Murdoch owned paper would have ran with it if there wasn't some truth behind it. Tip of the iceberg.

The problem is catching it with it in their system. There are methods to clean out your system or make it difficult to detect. These elite sports doctors are always ahead of the curve and the anti-doping agencies are playing catch up.

If any Arsenal player has been taking performance enhancing drugs, they should demand their money back and compensation!

I think Wenger should be drug tested. Anyone who thinks that with players such as Arteta and Mert and with Giroud as your main striker you'll win the PL must be on some good shit.

Think Hlebby should get the no. of Wengers dealer........

Players from Chelsea, Arsenal and Birmingham City are being mentioned by the doc

A total of 150 sports stars to be involved, including professional football players from Arsenal FC, from Champion Chelsea FC and league leaders Leicester City. Name of allegedly affected athletes are not mentioned. An investigative team of the "Sunday Times" and an official appointed by the ARD / WDR-Doping editorial decoy should have uncovered the doping methods of the London doctor Mark Bonar.

Doesn't seem to be much in the story but I'm sure doping on some scale will be going on in football. Just about every sport has been hit by doping scandals, it's naive in the extreme to think that football, by far the sport in Europe with the most money floating around to be earned, will somehow be exempt from it.

Oh well, I can rest easy, judging by this season's performances the Sunderland team must have been given the placebo batch

:lol: Same as us, though we got the performance reducing batch, designed to kick in more when there is pressure .

I've only been to one match this season and their laziness was so apparent, especially off the ball which you don't see on tv much. If the ball wasn't within a metre radius of Giroud he would just stand there and wait until it came nearer if it ever did. Wally just danced around whilst Elneny fought off two attackers. Pathetic. I call him Elneny not Elninny now, because I think he's doing well.
